Arsenio Hall Has Sued Sinead O'Connor For Claiming He Supplied Prince With Drugs

Days after Sinead O'Connor posted a strange Facebook post claiming that Arsenio Hall had supplied Prince with drugs for decades, Hall has hit O'Connor with a $5 million defamation lawsuit, according to TMZ.

In the suit, Arsenio calls O'Connor a "desperate attention-seeker," TMZ reports. O'Connor wrote in her post on Monday, "Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County Sherrif's office. Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie murphy's house. You best get tidying your man cave." Hall immediately called the claims "absolutely false, ridiculous and absurd" in a statement. As TMZ reports:

In the suit, Arsenio flat out denies ever supplying Prince with illegal drugs -- and adds, he hasn't had contact with Sinead for 25 years. He also denies spiking her with drugs back in the day ... as she claimed.

In recent weeks, the investigation into Prince's death has taken a grim turn, as the DEA has become involved after news was released that the music legend was found with painkillers on his person. According to family lawyers, Prince was scheduled to receive addiction treatment the day after he was found dead in a Paisley Park elevator.
